The Howa Model 1500 rifle offers exceptional performance for hunting and target shooting. Built around a design inspired by early Sako actions, it features a robust one-piece forged bolt and a flat-bottom action with an integral recoil lug for superior bedding and stability. This rifle is designed for ease of maintenance, with an easily strippable firing pin assembly for cleaning.

This Model 1500 variant comes with a Hogue pillar-bedded overmoulded stock, providing an ergonomic and secure fit for enhanced accuracy and function. The combination of the precise Howa 1500 action and this comfortable synthetic stock creates a dependable, lightweight rifle suitable for both entry-level match shooting and various sporting applications.

The Howa 1500 series is renowned for its quality components and thoughtful design:

• Barrel: Cold hammer-forged, 16" length, blued finish, threaded 14x1 for suppressors or muzzle devices.
• Action: Steel forged bolt and receiver.
• Trigger: HACT (Howa Actuator Controlled Trigger) two-stage system for a crisp, clean break.
• Safety: Three-position safety allows the bolt to be opened and unloaded while the firearm remains on safe.

For Howa 1500 Short Action rifles, there is an option to change to a shorter stock (available only in black). This adjustment reduces the length of pull from 15 1/3" (39cm) to 13 3/4" (35cm). Please enquire online or in-store if you require a shorter stock.
